How to setup a wifi ap (access point mode) hotspot, with IPv6 support?

I've set up a hotspot according to the guide to wifi ap hotspot setup and it works fine. But via the hotspot I failed to visit IPv6 websites. How can I setup a hotspot able to share Ipv6 Internet access? Thanks!


Further: Actually I've tried to setup IPv6 forwarding and masquerading.

First enabling IPv6 forwarding:

echo 1 | sudo tee net/ipv6/conf/default/forwarding

Then I tried to execute:

sudo ip6tables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 2001:db8:0:1::/64 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

But it gave me an error:

ip6tables v1.4.12: Couldn't load target `MASQUERADE':No such file or directory

I searched through the Internet but I get confused. So I'm here for help. Thanks!
